Why should you insulate your crawl spaces?

Improperly insulated crawl spaces can lead to unwanted and potentially expensive consequences. When your crawl spaces are not properly insulated, moisture underneath your home can cause water damage, increase mold and mildew, and in general, will not contribute to the overall comfort of your home. Here are a few reasons crawl space insulation can benefit you and your family:

• Big savings on your utility bill
• Increased effectiveness of existing insulation
• Added resale value to your home
• Decreasing the chance of mildew, mold, and other allergens from entering your home by reducing and preventing moisture from traveling into your house through un-insulated floor structures.

Hurricane Harvey was the first major hurricane to make landfall in the United States since Hurricane Wilma in 2005. Over a period of 4 days,  southeast Texas received over 40 inches of rain, resulting in catastrophic flooding, destruction of thousands of homes and businesses, displacing 30,000 people, and prompting over 17,000 rescues. If your home sat in the path of Harvey’s torrential downpour, your home’s floors, walls, and insulation likely endured extensive damage from the flood waters. When you begin the process of reconstructing and replacing the walls and floors of your home, that is the time to insulate your crawl spaces, as some areas can only be accessed during construction. Once construction is completed, you may need to tear up the floors and walls again if you wanted to insulate some of these spaces. When you and your family are ready to begin the rebuilding process, call Garland Insulating. We can increase the energy efficiency of your home, increase comfort levels year-round, and help to protect against future water damage.   Learn more about our insulation products.
